Summary

A step from oxc's peephole/esbuild.rs and minimize_conditional_expression.rs groups. terser already rewrites two conditionals, but not their mirror images:

terser rewrites but keeps
x ? x : y → x || y x ? y : x
a ? b : (c, b) → (a || c), b a ? (c, b) : b

The improve phase now writes the mirrored forms the same way:

  • x ? y : x → x && y, where both x are the same declared binding. A global or a name a with can rebind is skipped, since a getter may answer each read differently;
  • a ? (c, b) : b → (a && c), b.
// let a = foo(), b = bar(); a ? b(c) : b(a);
// before
let a=foo(),b=bar();b(a?c:a);
// after
let a=foo(),b=bar();b(a&&c);

Minified against main:

Code raw gzip
the 12 real-world bundles in benches/full, passes: 2 −40 −43
webpack's own lib/ (781 files, ecma: 2020) −7 −1

The corpora print what they should:

  • 6 sources retire from oxcSmaller.js and 3 from swcSmaller.js;
  • three test262 sources are a byte shorter but compress 1–3 bytes worse with gzip, because the conditional they no longer write repeated one beside it. They are listed in IMPROVED_YET_BIGGER.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

feat

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes, in test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js:

  • An improved case: a conditional whose other branch is its test, or ends as its other branch.
  • Kept cases, which stay as terser writes them:
    • a getter read twice, and a different binding of the same name;
    • a global getter read again by the other branch.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

docs/syntax.md will list this rewrite with the other minifier changes in one docs update.

Use of AI

Written with Claude Code: it found the asymmetry in terser's conditional rules, wrote the change and tests, and ran the corpora and size checks; I reviewed the result.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Certain conditional expressions are simplified into shorter equivalent forms, including expressions with sequence operations. Rewrites are limited to cases where repeated reads are safe and optional-access patterns match; potentially changing values and repeated getter access remain unchanged.
  • Tests
    • Updated JavaScript comparison cases to reflect changes in minified output size and compression. Added coverage for the conditional simplifications and cases where optional access or repeated getter reads must be preserved.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The improvement phase adds rewrites for selected conditional expressions. Unit tests cover rewritten and preserved cases. Minifier comparison data records updated source lists and gzip-size results.

Changes

Conditional expression optimization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conditional rewrites
lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js
The improvement phase rewrites conditionals when symbol references match or when the consequent sequence ends with an expression equivalent to the alternate. Unit cases cover rewritten outputs and cases that remain unchanged.
Size comparison updates
test/helpers/oxcSmaller.js, test/helpers/swcSmaller.js, test/specCases/minify-corpora.spectest.js
The OXC and SWC comparison lists change. Three corpus cases are recorded as gzip-worse after conditional shortening.

Suggested labels: area: parser

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6cc08

The change adds conditional-expression size optimizations with safeguards for globals, getter rereads, and optional chains. No concrete merge-blocking risk was identified from the supplied evidence.

Unchanged — 8434 — — —

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.

No asset changed size.

No runtime gained or lost a runtime module.

Built test/configCases with the defaults a user gets: 2338 test(s), 8434 asset(s), 100 emitted nothing.

What terser does for `x ? x : y` and `a ? b : (c, b)`, mirrored:
`x ? y : x` is written `x && y` and `a ? (c, b) : b` as `(a && c), b`.

- Around line 17800-17841: Update the equivalence checks used by
`A.isEquivalent` for `PropAccess`, `Dot`, and `DotHash` to compare each node’s
`optional` flag before treating property accesses as equivalent. Preserve the
existing property-name and quote checks so conditional-expression rewrites do
not merge accesses with different optional-chain behavior.

`isEquivalent` reads `a?.b.c` and `a.b?.c` as one, as terser's
`equivalent_to` does, so `f ? (g(), a?.b.c) : a.b?.c` became a read of
`a.b?.c` that throws where `a` is nullish.

#22473 counts a conversion as code that may run, so the value
#22499's improved case moved past `console` now has effects and
stays put; it now moves a comparison, which converts nothing. And
#22499 now shortens #22473's literal case, whose assertion holds the
output to terser's, so that case runs with the improve phase off.

With both in, `vercel/ms` is bigger than oxc's output again (787
against 781 gzip), so it goes back on OXC_SMALLER, where #22499 had
retired it on its own. And #22502 leaves terser's
`side_effects_cascade_3` no bigger than oxc's, so it comes off.

* perf(javascript): print a mangled program once, naming it afterwards

The mangle phase printed the tree twice: once to count the characters
the names are chosen from, once for the result. It now prints before
the names are chosen, recording where each name and each import or
export `as` clause lies, counts the characters off that text and writes
the names into it once chosen, moving the source map's columns with
them. The `let` declarations the improve phase left for after naming
are written before that print, and the count puts back what they
changed. A print that wrote a comment, shebang or preamble still counts
with a print of its own, as those are not counted.

* test(javascript): fit two minifier tests to #22473 and #22499 together

#22473 counts a conversion as code that may run, so the value
#22499's improved case moved past `console` now has effects and
stays put; it now moves a comparison, which converts nothing. And
#22499 now shortens #22473's literal case, whose assertion holds the
output to terser's, so that case runs with the improve phase off.
